I gotta agree with you. bmw is the only way to go for me. some look good but I still don't trust the quality of the car. and bmw's are sportier looking too..most merc look too oldish...

neither...i dont like euro luxury cars, too expensive to maintain and its all about status...

mercedes has always had minor problems with gadgetry...always has had problems with windows and door locks n shit...not too big of a deal but annoying as fook...used to be very underpowered and viewed as a car for ooold people (and still is)

bmw is basically a toy car...its a car that makes old men feel younger and young men feel like theyre drivin the closest thing to a race car they can get...never has been as practical as mercedes its jus a car that people can play with

neck to neck when it comes to power.
[ex. SL600 vs. 760Li]


in terms of luxury, i'd stick with the merc. BMW has to many damn gadgets here and there. too damn confusing.

wtf are u talkin about next to neck (SL600 - 760Li)
thats like comparing a M5 GTM with a C240 4matic
learn ur material kiddo

493 bhp and 590 lbs torque <--- S600/SL600/CL600

438 bhp and 444 lbs of torque <--- 760Li

neck to neck lol

can u check the difference man?

benz has 55hp gain and a 144 gain in torque...

therfore............ BENZ's 600 is not NECK TO NECK with BMW


if u wanna do some neck to necks compare the BMW 4.6 to the Benz 5.0

benz 500: 302bhp with 339lbs

bmw 4.6: 325bhp with 330lbs

or try the benz 4.3 with the beamer 4.4

bmw 4.4: 290bhp with 324lbs
benz 4.3: 275bhp with 294lbs


thats more neck to neck

ohhhhhhhh shit.... oh shit. you're dead marv, haha. toy? this coming from an acura owner?

mercedes? more practical? on what planet? they're more expensive for comparable cars. luxury cars in general aren't practical, but at least bmw isn't as absurd as mercedes.

like the m3 and the clk55 amg. m3 starts about 50k. clk55 closer to 70k.

or say a 540i starting in the 50k's, and an s500 or cl500 at 80-90k. not to mention similar 0-60 w/ a smaller engine. oh yea. and 6 speed manual.

practical?

and how can you even compare the ml500 to the 4.6is. the 4.6is will rape a ml500. a closer match is the ml55 amg and the 4.6is... and again, with lower displacement.

and then you're gonna compare the sl600 to a 760Li? of course they're not going to be neck and neck, the sl is a fucking two door roadster, the 760 is a house. maybe compare it to an s600. benz still has more power, but that's not everything. benz is a 5 speed, bmw is 6. benz is sohc, bmw is dohc. benz has 3 valves per cylinder, bmw has 4.

bmw just makes higher quality engines. ask anyone whose driven a lot of both. and the absolute worst thing about benz is that everythin but the c class only comes in auto, whereas everything but the 7 series bmw has manual standard.

but.. to each their own. i'm just biased. don't listen to me.

oops i meant S600. not SL.

when i meant neck to neck i meant neck to neck in terms of quality of buy. They're similar when it comes to price and when it comes to power Mercedes has more torque and hp. However, Mercedes uses two turbochargers while BMW uses big an N/A engine.

i think they're both v12's both i think bmw has more displacement. mercedes overcomes less displacement by using two turbochargers.

what makes an integra rs better than a 318i? unless you meant gsr, but then you can't compare it to a 318 because gsr isn't acura's "lowest" car. you should compare that to say, a 325. so in what way is a 4 door gsr better than a 325i? or a 2 door gsr better than a 325is? or maybe compare my cousin's 1994 acura vigor with my dad's 1995 325i. without a doubt, the vigor drives like absolute garbage next to the 325i, with similar mileage (109k and 101k, respectively).

and now you want to bring in mini coopers. well if you want to to do that, you should compare it to a civic, since honda and acura is the same shit too.

and anyway, my point wasn't to bag on acura.... i love integras. actually i like most acuras (except my cousin's vigor). chris's type-s shits all over the 325i. i was just saying that to call a bmw a toy in comparison to mercedes is just insane. but again, i'm biased. don't listen to me.

haha, yea i'm 15..turnin 16 in march, so yea, i've had my license for a while..

marvin - the lowest acura as of now..is an RSX. the lowest bmw, is a 325i. and the bmw owns it in all aspects of performance, luxury, and style.

also, like true life said, if u want to bring in the cooper, u shoudl compare it to the lowest Honda, since cooper is a low bimmer...

so yea. and like i mentioned, no flame intended when i said acuras were lesser cars..

as for wut car i drive? i've been learning how to drive in my mom's 540i and dad's S8. i'm getting n M3, so yea, excuse my saying bad things of acuras.. they're great cars for the money.
